All high-ranking British universities recognise the SOAS Foundation Diploma for Postgraduate Studies

The SOAS pre-master's programme is a ten-month course providing academic and language preparation for international students who want to enter Masters degrees (taught and researched) at British universities in social science, business and management-related studies, arts and humanities.

The pre-master's programme was started in 1993 in order to provide international students with a thorough preparation for entering demanding Master degrees at British universities or at universities, research institutes or business-schools abroad where the language of instruction is English.

Academic requirements
You must have a Bachelor's degree from a recognised institution in your own country or elsewhere.

(If you have a three-year Diploma, you may in certain cases be considered for admission if you have substantial relevant work experience)

English Language requirements
The minimum language requirement is IELTS 5.5 with 6.0 in writing/ TOEFL 540/207 with TWE 4.0. If you do not have these qualifications or if your scores are below these, you will be asked to do a written test before being accepted on to the course.

All students will be interviewed either face-to-face in London or in their own country, or by telephone.

Level 1 Joined: 2009/3/29 From: Posts: 3	Re: Foundation Diploma for Postgraduate Studies (FDPS) May I ask a somewhat stupid question? I do not understand the concept of this programme. I wish to study at a UK university (MA). (after obtaining my BA in Austria) Is it necessary for me to pass this or not?
